Just Be You & Not Anyone Else

BE-YOU-TIFUL

Just Be You & Not Anyone Else
Happy In Real Life

2016 has come to an end and a new one has just begun, but do not let the feeling of a fresh new year fool you. Some of us get caught up in the celebration of the new year and start to become a person that we never use to be. We change and not for the better (if you don't know by now puns are my thing).

Think of the new year has the restart button on your computer. Your restarting a year but not changing who you are. Now, I'm not talking about when you change your diet or the way you eat because you want to feel physically better inside and out. I'm talking about the change of your entire self; becoming a copy.

Don't become someone else. Just be you.

Remind yourself that you're an original. You're unique. You're amazing in so many different ways. You're beautiful/handsome. You're fantastic at what you do. Your friends and family love you dearly because YOU ARE YOU.

Don't try to be the model on the cover of a magazine. Don't try to be like a celebrity you envy. Don't try to be the someone your crush is dating. Don't be a completely different person to get someones attention. Don't turn into the person who has put you down.

Just Be You & Not Anyone Else.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
